For those with tighter curls or kinks, skip the hot rollers and curling iron and simply use the curls you have to create a romantic updo. “It will create more of an ethereal look instead of classic Hollywood,” Cutler says.
Once it’s up, add a touch of light hairspray—just enough to hold your do, but nothing too sticky. When it’s time to follow the trail of rose petals into the bedroom, gently remove the pins and set yourself and your curls free.
“In the morning, you’ll still have the classic feel, but it will be more time appropriate,” Cutler says. “The curls will still be there, but they will be long, soft, and beautiful.”
While your guy is distracted in the kitchen fixing your favorite breakfast treats, you can disappear to freshen your curls with an anti-frizz serum or gloss.
“All you’re doing is adding moisture to give it a bit of bounce in the morning,” says Cutler.

Love style: Temptress
Your look is always changing, and for you it’s all about the element of surprise, sexy fun and temptation. He reaches in to kiss you, and you pull away just enough to keep him wanting more. To feed your need for change, Cutler suggests three quick styles to twist up your adventurous evening.
“Start with loopy curls. Then later in the evening disappear into the bathroom with a half-dozen bobby pins and randomly pull pieces up away from the face to give it that disheveled, abstract look—kind of like a loose, free-form updo,” Cutler says. “You can do that literally in thirty seconds, and it will change your whole silhouette. But you still have your curls.”
By the time the sun rises, you slip away again (keeping him guessing), and within seconds you add two bra strap headbands to pull the hair back from the face.
“Put one band in the hairline and one farther back,” Cutler says. “You don’t want hair hanging down the back, so you’ll still have some of the pins in and it looks fun. The bra strap headbands will scrunch the curls close together making it look like a short hairstyle. You can add a little (Redken Rough Paste) just to make the ends look a little more piecey and separated.”
